FYI

CSPAN 3

WEDNESDAY
10:00 AM EDT
4:00 (est.) LIVE
House Committee
Accuracy of Battlefield Information
Oversight and Government Reform
Henry Waxman , D-CA
Richard B. Myers , Joint Chiefs of Staff
The beginning and end of this live program may be earlier or later than the scheduled times.

UPDATE:

Rumsfeld will not testify due to a schedule conflict. The White House had no role in that. He will not be subpoenaed, and has answered questions from the committee via his attorney.

The witnesses scheduled to testify are:

* Gen. John P. Abizaid (Retired), Former Commander, U.S. Central Command
* Gen. Richard B. Myers (Retired), Former Chair, Joint Chiefs of Staff
* Gen. Bryan Douglas Brown (Retired), Former Commander, U.S. Special Operations Command
* Lt. Gen. Philip R. Kensinger, Jr. (Retired), Former Commander, U.S. Special Operations Command

Today, the Army censured the last for these four witnesses, Lt. Gen. Kensinger, for what it described as a "perfect storm of mistakes, misjudgments and a failure of leadership," according to the Associated Press. Kensinger was also accused of 'deception.'

UPDATE #2: Rumsfeld WILL testify. H/t to OhDave.
